Getting to the Roots of the Problem

The roots of our teeth can be visible when our gums recede. This can be caused by improper or rigorous brushing or gum disease. Roots can also become decayed when cavities form on the roots of our teeth. In most cases, exposed roots are more common in older adults.

Cavities in Roots are Harmful

The unfortunate truth is that the spreading of root cavities is much faster than in tooth cavities. Why? Because our teeth are protected by enamel and the roots do not have this surface protection.

When cavities of the roots spread inside of the tooth, that is when we experience pain from a rapidly spreading infection. If the root cavity is large the infection can be so severe that the tooth can fall out leaving only the rotted root.

Decaying Roots more common in Older Adults

Although age is a wonderful gift, it can bring problems for our oral health.

As people age, they can develop various types of diseases that affect their oral health causing gum disease. The medications or treatments for disease can also contribute to gum disease through dry mouth, furthering root decay.

Arthritis or stroke can prevent a person from taking proper care of their teeth. Many times older adults may not realize they have food stuck in between teeth, which can cause decay, root problems and tooth loss.

With tooth loss, a person will tend to eat softer foods for obvious comfort reasons. This aids in the depletion of the jawbone and now the condition can spiral out of control.

Excellent! I was having difficulty finding a competent dentist after an unfortunate experience with a "dental group". My experience with Dr. Rotem was pleasant, and the results were outstanding. Staff is most courteous and helpful, and wait time for a scheduled appointment is frequently zero. Hygienist Joy does outstanding work, and helps with explaining the how & why of oral hygiene.
